THE Kyriakos Mitsotakis Speaking at the Global Summit: Health & Prosperity Through Immunisation co -organized by the European Union, Gavi and the Gates Foundation in Brussels, he announced that Greece is increasing the amount it gives for GAVI’s goal from € 2 million to € 5 million.
In his first conversations, the prime minister referred to a personal story about his mother.
“My late mother was infected with polio during World War II. He received the best possible care, lived a full but very difficult life, with challenges. He was one of the lucky ones. Many other children did not have the same route. And as I heard Mr. Gates talk about the elimination of polio, I was thinking of the enormous progress made by science for the last 50 years. I was also thinking of Gavi’s huge contribution as a model of private and public partnership, providing vaccines to tens of millions of children, saving millions of lives, “Mr Mitsotakis said.
And he continued: “And I believe it is our duty, our contribution, to ensure that this project continues at a time when top donors are limiting their participation, but also at a time when skepticism for vaccines is growing around the world. I am very happy and honored by the fact that Europe, the “Europe Group”, undertakes to fill the financial gap that emerged from the decision of other top donors not to continue Gavi’s funding. “

The prime minister emphasized: “On behalf of the Greek people I would like to announce that the initial recommendation of the Treasury was to contribute 2 million euros to Gavi’s purpose, but I decided to increase it to 5m euros. I was thinking that some of us came from the NATO Summit to ensure that we are here today, with you, to reaffirm our support for Gavi. I was thinking that if we could – and rightly, I can add – spending 5% of our GDP on defense in the coming years, we can certainly afford to contribute 5 million to Gavi. “
